Modest Mindy
Mindy is the modest but still stylish bride who clings to a very traditional style. Let’s examine her piece by piece.
Her dress is very modest and would be suitable for a ceremony in most any temple. Although the dress has a boatneck and short sleeves, you’d hardly be able to call it prudish. A fancy little belt draws the attention to her waist. With a slim structure and luxurious fabric, no guest would leave the wedding chiding the bride for what she chose to keep covered.
Mindy’s bouquet is made of the most traditional flower known to man: roses. While red is popular, it’s a little too bold, so, instead she opts for soft pink and white shades. It’s still simple enough though, that she could create it on her own if she wanted to.
The table settings for Mindy’s wedding are very traditional and have a Victorian feel. Again, in the soft pink palate, the tables have a little color but are not very bold, just like Mindy would be.
Because, as we all know, opposites attract, Mindy’s man is not quite as modest and he opts for the white tie tux with tails. It doesn’t overpower Mindy though, but instead acts as a perfect complement.
Mindy’s necklace, like the rest of her ensemble is conservative elegance. A simple pearl choker dresses are up without competing with her dress. This could either be her borrowed item, or if she bought the necklace herself, it’s a piece she’ll have for many years to come.
Of course no dress would be complete without a pair of elbow length gloves. Nothing too embellished. Just a simple understated ivory pair that will no doubt add a touch of elegance. Sure, she could’ve gone with a lace, beaded or fingerless pair, but those wouldn’t be modest and they wouldn’t be Mindy.
The cakes at Mindy’s wedding are not very ornate and do not contain multiple tiers. Because this is Modest Mindy we’re talking about, a few 9″ rounds do the job just fine.
Mindy’s bridesmaids are just as modest as she is and their dresses mirror hers. The more relaxed structure on the bridesmaid dresses help keep the attention right on Mindy.
Who needs a big, gaudy showpiece of a ring when you’re as modest as Mindy. A solitaire engagement ring does the job. It let’s everyone know she’s taken without giving anyone the idea she’s less than modest.
The milk glass vases are a classic touch because everyone’s grandmother had at least one. It’s definitely a nod to Mindy’s more vintage side, but they suit her modesty because they’re glass without being transparent, giving them their own little bit of modesty.
Modest Mindy’s m.o. is all about being conservative and traditional without giving the impression that she’s prudish and doesn’t know how to have fun. Every choice for the wedding is very deliberate and thought out to make sure her personality comes through.
